I was able to listen to her feelings earlier on in our sitch, now I get stone walled. She is not willing to share much of anything with me anymore, but, she is able to live at home currently. I am just sitting back and waiting for another opportunity to listen, validate, and not defend myself.

Because of this sitch I have learned about what unconditional love is really about. I have been able to feel it from others trying to support me even though they do not know how. I have really come to appreciate the people in my life that love me unconditionally. No matter how imperfect I maybe they will always love me and my girls. It has provided me some comfort knowing that.

Next, thanks for your thoughts and perspective.

BTW, I am getting a new car. 07 TrailBlazer(silver). Goodbye 96 Taurus, hello leather seats, 4x4, CD player, the list goes on and on..... My W knows that I am looking at buying a new car, but, I do not know how she is going to react when I tell her she needs to start making her own car payments. She could be expecting this she might be pissed. Who knows, Who cares, I am getting a new ride. My girls and I are going to have a nice ride. Maybe this coming winter if my W is nice I'll let her sit on my heated seats. I know this is not a lexus or bmw but I have always had the crap car in our M, now I will have a nice ride. Yipee!!!!
